We did that a lot last year and it didn't feel right. Occasionally we might step away to have a dinner together but thats it. They arent really good at the "more than a few hours babysitting". Its one of the reasons I'm going solo to Joes. Plus its halloween crunch time baby! Still lots of projects.Free babysitters who hoo, maybe you can go places you thought you couldn't...
Yes this would be way more ideal. They live in Florida however. So we try for at least twice a year.I love my parents and try to spend as much time with them as I can, but I’m lucky to be able to do frequent short visits. My Dad and I are just TOO much alike!
